Willem van Dreumel 01d957677f Oauth2 consumer (#679)
* initial stuff for oauth2 login, fails on:
* login button on the signIn page to start the OAuth2 flow and a callback for each provider
Only GitHub is implemented for now
* show login button only when the OAuth2 consumer is configured (and activated)
* create macaron group for oauth2 urls
* prevent net/http in modules (other then oauth2)
* use a new data sessions oauth2 folder for storing the oauth2 session data
* add missing 2FA when this is enabled on the user
* add password option for OAuth2 user , for use with git over http and login to the GUI
* add tip for registering a GitHub OAuth application
* at startup of Gitea register all configured providers and also on adding/deleting of new providers
* custom handling of errors in oauth2 request init + show better tip
* add ExternalLoginUser model and migration script to add it to database
* link a external account to an existing account (still need to handle wrong login and signup) and remove if user is removed
* remove the linked external account from the user his settings
* if user is unknown we allow him to register a new account or link it to some existing account
* sign up with button on signin page (als change OAuth2Provider structure so we can store basic stuff about providers)

* from gorilla/sessions docs:
"Important Note: If you aren't using gorilla/mux, you need to wrap your handlers with context.ClearHandler as or else you will leak memory!"
(we're using gorilla/sessions for storing oauth2 sessions)

* use updated goth lib that now supports getting the OAuth2 user if the AccessToken is still valid instead of re-authenticating (prevent flooding the OAuth2 provider)

sessions
========
[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/gorilla/sessions?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/gorilla/sessions) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/gorilla/sessions.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/gorilla/sessions)
gorilla/sessions provides cookie and filesystem sessions and infrastructure for
custom session backends.
The key features are:
* Simple API: use it as an easy way to set signed (and optionally
encrypted) cookies.
* Built-in backends to store sessions in cookies or the filesystem.
* Flash messages: session values that last until read.
* Convenient way to switch session persistency (aka "remember me") and set
other attributes.
* Mechanism to rotate authentication and encryption keys.
* Multiple sessions per request, even using different backends.
* Interfaces and infrastructure for custom session backends: sessions from
different stores can be retrieved and batch-saved using a common API.
Let's start with an example that shows the sessions API in a nutshell:
```go
import (
"net/http"
"github.com/gorilla/sessions"
)
var store = sessions.NewCookieStore([]byte("something-very-secret"))
func MyHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
// Get a session. We're ignoring the error resulted from decoding an
// existing session: Get() always returns a session, even if empty.
session, _ := store.Get(r, "session-name")
// Set some session values.
session.Values["foo"] = "bar"
session.Values[42] = 43
// Save it before we write to the response/return from the handler.
session.Save(r, w)
}
```
First we initialize a session store calling `NewCookieStore()` and passing a
secret key used to authenticate the session. Inside the handler, we call
`store.Get()` to retrieve an existing session or a new one. Then we set some
session values in session.Values, which is a `map[interface{}]interface{}`.
And finally we call `session.Save()` to save the session in the response.
Important Note: If you aren't using gorilla/mux, you need to wrap your handlers
with
[`context.ClearHandler`](http://www.gorillatoolkit.org/pkg/context#ClearHandler)
as or else you will leak memory! An easy way to do this is to wrap the top-level
mux when calling http.ListenAndServe:
More examples are available [on the Gorilla
website](http://www.gorillatoolkit.org/pkg/sessions).
